The main discussion aside, there is a living cost that education doesn’t bridge.
If you are living in say London plumbers, mechanics, housing, eggs are more expensive than in say Vietnam.
you can be paid more in London and have a lower quality of life
- WanderPanda 5y agoI feel it was long overdue for the market to correct this anomaly. I believe there have been some synergies in concentrating geeks in one place but it just went out of control.
- zaphirplane 5y agoHow will that help ? A person living in city x needs to be paid y to have a z quality of life. In another city they would need to be paid another amount to have the same quality of life. Zero to do with their occupation
- WanderPanda 5y agoSalary is not about providing a certain level of quality of life for an employee. It is about the value the employee can create for the company. There part of the value can be due to the synergies of being physically close. In the mid term the salary will be dependent on what the employee brings to the table and not how expensive his lifestyle is (at least in companies that will do well in the long term)
